Making boneset tea with reishi mushrooms

Dear Stephen,
Hi. I have terrible lyme arthritis. I would like to make your tea with boneset (ordered 2 pounds from Pacific Botanicals) and reishi mushrooms. Where do you get the mushrooms? And after you mix and cook, do you strain the liquid out or do you eat the herbs/mushrooms as well? Thanks!

Stephen’s response:
I get the powder here: Reishi Mushroom(Note from editor: If you click on the 1st Chinese Herbs ad below, or on the homepage of this site, you can get the code for 10% off this brand). I strain, then add honey and drink. I don’t consume the herbs themselves. Just the liquid.
